The person before made a mistake in their proof.
1. x = y
2. xy = y^2
3. xy - x^2 = y^2 - x^2
4. x(y - x) = (y + x)(y - x)
So far so good.
4.5. x = (y + x)(y - x)/(y - x) is what they did to get to step 5, which says:
5. x = y + x
This is wrong though. since x = y, y -x = 0, and so you can't divide by y - x.
1. x = y

Get the <1+2 mug.1. x = y
2. xy = y^2
3. xy - x^2 = y^2 - x^2
4. x(y - x) = (y + x)(y - x)
5. x = y + x
6. x = x + x
7. x = 2x
8. 1 = 2

QED
As proven, 1 = 2, thus 0 = 1, etc. And so for any number i, there is an equivalent j that is not equal to i.
This is further explained in the Identity Theft Theorem.

Get the 1 = 2 mug.The 1-2 is when you punch somebody once with one hand, and then quickly punch them again with the other hand. This is also known as the 1-2 mayweather, named after the UFC fighter.
I got into a fight yesterday and he wasn't covering himself so I hit him with the 1-2 and he went down.
